Drachenschlucht (Dragon Gorge) Entrance

Highlight • Gorge

This entrance gate marks the beginning of the Dragon Gorge, a roughly three-kilometer-long rocky gorge near Eisenach. For over 100 years, the secured walkways have provided safe access through the narrow, rocky landscape.

Entrance to the Drachenschlucht

Highlight • Gorge

The Dragon Gorge is always great. In winter with the loud rushing water and from spring onwards it is incredibly green.

However, it is also very busy at weekends, so if possible, choose a weekday to visit.

We started early and had the gorge almost to ourselves. An absolute highlight, and not just for children - high rocks, water and plants create a unique backdrop.

Landgrafen Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Landgrafenschlucht is a little more lovely than the neighboring Drachenschlucht, but its rock formations and vegetation are no less impressive. A wide, easy-to-walk path winds through it, secured in some places by wooden planks or steps or small bridges.
